  - we proudly unpacked our very last box four years after we moved in. Nothing wrong with having full moving boxes stored away somewhere.

  - it was a local move. which i think made it harder in some ways. we weren't fully packed up when the movers came. we still have stuff in our old apartment.

  - no. we were in brooklyn and moved just a few blocks away. it shouldn't be traumatic at all. i'm a bit of a perfectionist and i feel like i failed this challenge. and then once i get past that stupidity, i'm still overwhelmed with the unpacking and organizing.

- It's sad to leave behind all the memories. Even if you didn't move far, it always feels like starting a new phase in life.
